V1(77,MP): Mid 40s white man. loose passive player and on his third buyin.
V2(680,Mp+2): 50s white man. Hard to describe his style, but he just lost a big pot(Hand 2) and very active now.

History hand 1:

First time play with V2 and this is very first hand.

V2 raises 25 on BTN. Hero calls with AKo on SB. 2 callers.
FLOP:KJJr. checks to V2. V2 all in for about 175. Hero calls. V has 44.

History hand2:
V2 raises to 20. SB 3 bets to 60 v2 calls.
FLOP: Q6Jr SB bets 50 V2 calls.
Turn: 6 SB checks. V2 bets 90. SB raises to 190. V2 calls.
River: 9 SB bets 200. V2 calls.
SB shows AA and V2 shows Q9o


The hand:

Pre flop: V1 limps, V2 raises to 20, co calls. Hero calls on BTN with 7c8C. V1 calls.

FLOP(80):KcJdTc
V1 all in for 57, V2 calls. Hero calls.
Turn(251):9s V2 bets 135. Hero tank calls.
River(521):2c V tank checks. Hero bets 250.

Should I raises on Flop? How's turn call? How's rive bet size?

On the flop calling is for sure the best play in my eyes, at this stage we don't want V2 fold as we have 8 high and highly unlikely to beat V1 anyways if the flush draw misses. On the turn, assuming V2 has a Q we're not getting the direct odds to call but if we believe he will pay us off a decent percentage of the time when the flush hits calling is fine. I think river sizing is fine although I would personally bet a little bigger, around 300.

This is one of those situations where it looks like you flopped a big hand but really you didn't. This board means your 9 is dirty more often then clean, any hand with a queen cuts massively into your equity. There are more nightmare cases then good cases, and the nightmares are worse. Even the best cases only give you near 50% equity but the worst leave you with <1%.

After V2 calls flop your options are fold or raise. The shove and call means your probably facing two better hands, at least one of which probably has a queen. Fold is probably your best option if V2 is tilted and you have little FE. If you do think you have FE then reraise to $200 is also workable.

As played, the turn call is meh. You almost never have the best hand at that point but V2 didn't put a lot of pressure on you. If you can get paid a fair portion of the time when you hit your flush then calling is OK. River bet is OK, you want a call from V2's likely straight.

No reason to raise the flop. Turn is fine. River, I think I'm shoving and just hoping he has a Q or a set that he can't release.

It`s well played.

But you have to get it in on the river -> Bet 500 OTR.

I forgot to mention my stack size. I cover him. So you think he would call 500 if he call 250?

Not always, but I don't see him folding a straight for 500. I think shoving is definitely more +EV.
